Quicktime Embed Tags

Quicktime embed tags, found at:

Webpage in question:
http://taras.shacknet.nu/~public1/plpp/vintro.html
So I'm trying to put an MP4 video on this web page. I set the AUTOPLAY tag to TRUE. According to Apple's site, the movie will start playing as soon as Quicktime has determined that enough of it has downloaded to allow for uninterupted play. Well, it seems that the movie doesn't start playing until the entire movie is downloaded. I'm completely out of ideas on how to remedy this situation. Additionally, it seems that your browser will just freeze until the whole movie is downloaded. This seems to happen in all browsers on Mac and PC. How do I fix this?
Also, on a related topic, does anybody know how I can redirect to another web page automatically once the movie is finished? Thanks.

So, one bit of confusion. You said that as it is right now my sight can't be viewed with Windows using IE, but I have tested it using Windows IE and I can view in in there just fine (and of course, quicktime is installed). Also, as far as the codecs, I used MP4 Video and AAC Audio, which I thought was standard.
I did "save as" to the movie in Quicktime Pro, and that put it inside a .mov container. I swithced out the video files. It still seems that the video does not start playing automatically, but waits until the whole thing has downloaded. Am I clear to understand that the problem then is with the <embed> tags that I'm using instead of using javascript? I am a relatively new web developer, and I'm using Dreamweaver CS 3. I could figure out the javascript if I have to, but I want to keep things as simple as possible. Is switching to Javascript the only way to make the movie start automatically? Any way to do it with the <embed> tags that dreamweaver uses? Alternatively, would it be easier just to convert this whole thing to flash video and use that?
Also, my second question still stands: How do I automatically redirect the page to a different URL once the movie is done playing? Thank you very much for the help!

  • Embedded QuickTime - Embed Tag Attributes

    Is there an embed tag attribute that controls playback speed? I run a website that streams MIDI and users have a need to speed up or slow down the playback speed.

    Not part of the embed tag attributes but you can launch the MIDI files via the QuickTime Player app (target="quicktimeplayer") and then the visitor can use the built in A/V Controls window to adjust playback speed and pitch.

  • (Quicktime) Embed Tags and upcoming ActiveX changes

    I apologize if this is not the correct forum for such a question, but the "Developer" section didn't seem quite appropriate and Apache can be considered a UNIX technology so here goes . . .
    I am updating my web pages to prepare for changes in future versions of IE, as detailed in "Apple's Preparing Websites with Active Content for Upcoming Changes to Internet Explorer for Windows". My question is using these changes, how might I present users with a "Click to Play" image that updates the web page with the appropriate code without loading a new page.
    To clarify, once a user goes to any web page, that user should be able to click an image that would load the Apple-recommended Javascript function QTWriteOBJECTXHTML in its place. I'm guessing I want a Javascript function to replace itself with another Javascript function.
    Does anyone know how to do this?
    If I find a way to do this in before I get a definitive answer, I'll post what I find.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi mistersquid,
       This is about as far from the correct forum as you can get. This has nothing to do with Apache per se. It is purely a question about HTML and JavaScript. However, there are some folks here that do some web development so you'll probably get an answer. In fact, I'm going to take a shot at it myself if I can figure out what you want.
       I don't understand the part about the image or the purpose of the corresponding link. Why do you want the execution of the recommended JavaScript to depend on a user click?
       If I understand their recommendations correctly, the QTWriteOBJECTXHTML function is invoked as the page loads. It sounds like the change that Micro$oft makes is triggered when an <Object> tag (or similar tag) is encountered while the document is being downloaded. The trick appears to involve adding the <Object> tags as the document is being loaded. By the time the document is rendered, the <Object> tags should be in it and the document should look just like it did before the fix. Thus, I don't see any point in changing the user experience.
       If you do have some compelling reason for changing the user experience, all you have to do is to code the page for that using <Object> or <Embed> tags. Then after you have what you want, do exactly what Apple recommends and simply replace <Object> tags like before. I don't believe that <Object> tags can be containers, can they? If not, it shouldn't be possible to create a page for which their recommendations fail to work in the fashion they describe.

  • Embed tag always caling QT

    Hello
    I placed a simple embed tag in a page and it always calls for
    the Apple QuickTime player for what is only an mp3 file. I have
    (Windoze) configured to use the Windows Media Player for any mp3,
    but it still uses the QT. This is totally outside of the expected.
    How do I make sure it used the installed player for that file type.
    tia

    I don’t know of any way to do that.

  • Deprecated embed tag issues

    I have been using the embed tag to play media like:
    embed src="audio/song1.mp3" width="200" height="18"     ......  /embed
    It seems that it has become deprecated in some uses
    I'm looking for some kind of universal tag to play mp3's or .mov files
    Any idea what replaces it for basic use?

    so what's the best bet overall for maximum compatibility ?
    Use both <object> and <embed> tags.  Embed tag was never valid W3C code.  Nevertheless, some browsers require it.

  • Safari 5.1 won't play .mov files using the embed tag

    Since upgrading to Lion (and Safari 5.1), any page that loads a .mov file using the <object><embed> tags gives me a "Plug-in Failure" error. If I take the HTML and load the same file using the <video> tag it works fine.
    Did Apple drop support for the embed tag? Is there something going on with my Quicktime plugin?
    Here is an example of a page with an embedded .mov:
    http://www.mediacollege.com/video/format/mpeg4/streaming/example.html
    Does this work for anyone running Safari 5.1 in Lion?

    please check to verify if you have the remains of plug-in attched to DivX and make sure you have installed quicktime plug-in by going to Safari -- Help -- Installed Plug-ins. If you ever uninstalled Divx without using Divxuninstaller, you'll meet this problem.
    Now download Divxinstaller.dmg and run it. Then you'll see the uninstaller in the corresponding application folder.
    Click uninstaller to fully uninstall Divx. Relaunch safari and enjoy!

  • Embed tag is not working with Mozilla Firefox 23, 24 and 25

    Requirement:
    While loading the java applet on a page, if the user system do not have plugin loaded then our code should redirect the user to get Java 1.6 plugin.

    User is getting pop-up message for JRE6 installation with browser IE8, 9, and 10 and also with Mozilla Firefox 22, but it’s failing with latest version of Mozilla Firefox23,24 and 25.
    I have gone through so many sites but could find any reason for this behavior.
    I have provided JRE6 32-bit version download URL, here I don’t think so I’m doing any version incompatibility because both the JRE6 and Mozilla Firefox are 32-bit version. And 64 bit Firefox version is not available for windows.
    I’m not sure why the code is working with Firefox 22 and its lower version but
    doesn’t work with higher version than firefox22….like 23,24,25
    Can anyone help to sort out this issue?
    Thanks, <br />

    Sorry for the delay in getting an answer, yesterday was a holiday in the USA.
    This forum is for Firefox user support, not for web developer support. My rough guess is that since Mozilla has blocked all but the most recent update for Java 7 Plugins - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/blocked/ - and Firefox 23 brought in a new '''Simplified interface for notifications of plugin installation''' - http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/23.0/releasenotes/ - that is probably why you're having a problem with versions of Firefox after Firefox 22.
    Try posting at the Web Development / Standards Evangelism forum at MozillaZine. The helpers over there are more knowledgeable about web page development issues with Firefox. <br />

  • Embed tag for Fonts in AS3 "exception during transcoding"

    Hi,
    I have the following problem, I am embeding a font in a project with the embed tag and I get the following error "exception during transcoding".
    [Embed(source="D:/repo/docs/fonts/FreeSans.ttf", fontFamily="Free Sans", fontWeight = 'regular', mimeType = 'application/x-font')] public var auxFont:String;
    I had this same error in Flex but I found that adding "-managers flash.fonts.AFEFontManager" in the properties of the project, ActionScript compiler, Additional compiler arguments took care of it.
    I need to compile this project with the Flash compiler and not Flex is there any place in Flash that I can add that argument?
    Thanks,
    Ana

    Try this:
              [Embed(source="D:/repo/docs/fonts/FreeSans.ttf",  fontFamily="FreeSans")]
              private var freeSans:Class;
    Than, you can use the embedded font via font property of TextFormat class:     myTextFormat.font = "FreeSans";
